A Thousand Years - Brandtson

Looking at your dress

I notice how the patterns change

When the light hits it a certain way

Seeing different shapes of words becoming sentences

Though I still can’t make out what they say

A thousand years from now

I wonder if they’ll wonder how

The world looked to you and me

The continents will change

And islands rearrange

And float away

And maybe fall into the sea

And maybe fall into the sea

Falling out of trees are kites and paper airplanes

That float away and never touch the ground

The sidewalk starts to move

The buildings crashing down

And no one seems to notice if it makes a sound

A thousand years from now

I wonder if they’ll wonder how

The world looked to you and me

The continents will change

And islands rearrange

And float away

And maybe fall into the sea

All this time is so much time

And there are reasons that we’ll never see

All this time is so much time
